So this weekend my mom and I decided to go to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle for a little adventure. Here are some of the things we saw and did! (Mostly a bunch of pictures of animals and also my face.)
Bears and wolves, oh my!
This is the first time in my life that it has happened too. I felt so very special.
Right: Monkey kisses are best when they're given by fake monkeys
Speaking of monkeys.... and their other variations of species and whatnot (obviously I'm not an animal expert, okay.) Clockwise from top left: black-and-white colobus, (oops sorry don't know!), orangutan, and lemurs
"I'm not related to monkeys!"- a little girl said after her dad said they were her "cousins"
and here I am monkeying around.
I was actually really disappointed when I found out there wouldn't be any poo paper making.
It must have been a code violation or something.
(Warthogs, lion, and elephant)
Lots of spotted kitties! Clockwise from top left: leopard, ocelot, and cheetah
More spotted things that aren't as cute to me. My exact words were "I hope Harry Potter isn't here... because I'd be really happy if these three giant snakes didn't escape while I'm here."
I love zoos even if the animals don't seem to be enjoying themselves. It's still interesting to see them interact with each other and with the people behind the glass in ways that I would never get to see otherwise. This is also one of the best I've been to, and I've been to quite a few! I'm happy we were able to see most of the animals too.I hope you enjoyed my little photo post! Did you do anything fun this weekend? Let me know in the comments!
We've always loved taking our cameras to the zoo with us. I could watch the orangutans for hours. So much personality!
ReplyDeleteOur biggest bit of fun was mother-daughter Etsy shop planning. We have a Grand Opening coming up next month, so we have a lot to do. But we are so excited about it!
I love the zoo! I need to renew my annual pass! It's so great and all the money helps those places!
ReplyDeleteThat looked like a lot of fun! No poop paper making?? Nooooo!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI really -hate- the idea of animals being kept in a zoo, however on the other hand, they're safe. Ugh. It's a very conflicted feeling for me. I love seeing them. I love learning about them. Seeing the lemurs, lions and tigers especially. I also love when our zoo has a swamp like habitat. I think that zoos vary. Some are horrible, others are -really- good and many have rescue animals which I love!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are so cool, and I love your shirt. It's a favorite of mine!
I know exactly how you feel. Some of the animals looked downright depressed and just kept walking the same path over and over. I've never seen that before. :(
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for the great comment! The shirt is my favorite too. :)
Haha I know right? Such a shame! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt was a ton of fun though! I love spending time with my mom on weekends.
Yes! Maybe that would be a good idea for us too since we live so close. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for your grand opening too! :)
ReplyDeleteChances are it was cancelled due to staffing. This is the zoo's 4th year doing it...definitely no code violations! Come out again! Although we're still a bit spotty with staffing, we're planning on doing it till Sept. 30th! And due to its popularity, I can almost guarantee It will return for a 5th year!
ReplyDeleteFor real? Because that would be awesome! I was really looking forward to it as soon as I saw the signs! Thanks for the info, Jessi! :)
